  2. Apple's Trojan Horse for I.T. Depts.? by Johnny+Mozzarella · · Score: 5, Insightful

    iTunes has been called a Trojan Horse that will slip into consumer PCs and perhaps persude them to buy an iPod or a Mac.

    Will the XServe RAID become the equivalent Trojan Horse that will slip into corporate data centers and lead to future purchases of XServes?

    I hope Apple doesn't ignore this opportunity but instead promotes the fact that the XServe RAID plays well with other systems.
